Diversity Portfolio
The purpose of this portfolio is to have students and practitioners increase awareness, expand cultural knowledge, explore rural or urban health issues, examine occupations, improve communication, and serve our neighbors. It’s a way to explore different diversity ideas, to pursue your own interests via a self-directed, self-paced, reflective journey. At the end of this project, you will have created a portfolio filled with your own written reflections, research, and ideas.
